The Chinese word 高速公路 (gāosù gōnglù) for "highway" is a compound of three characters. The first character, 高 (gāo), means "high" or "tall". The second character, 速 (sù), means "speed" or "fast". The third character, 公路 (gōnglù), means "road" or "highway". Together, the three characters mean "high-speed road" or "highway".The word 高速公路 was first used in China in the early 20th century. It was originally used to refer to the new highways that were being built in the country at that time. These highways were designed for high-speed travel, and they were a major improvement over the old, slow roads that had been used previously.Today, the word 高速公路 is used to refer to all types of highways in China. These highways are an important part of the country's transportation system, and they play a vital role in the economy.
